DIGITAL SOLUTIONS FOR DIFFERENTIATING ASTHMA FROM COPD

Abstract:

The present disclosure relates generally to systems and processes for assessing and differentiating asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in a patient, and more specifically to computer-based systems and processes for providing a predicted diagnosis of asthma and/or COPD. In accordance with one or more examples, a computing system receives a set of patient data corresponding to a first patient and determines whether the set of patient data satisfies a set of one or more data-correlation criteria. If the set of one or more data-correlation criteria are satisfied, the computing system applies a first diagnostic model to the set of patient data and determines a first predicted diagnosis of asthma and/or COPD. If the set of one or more data-correlation criteria are not satisfied, the computing system applies a second diagnostic model to the set of patient data and determines a second predicted diagnosis of asthma and/or COPD.
